Alright fellow riders/students. As of right now looking for all opinions regarding which schooling would be more recommended to become a Motorcycle mechanic.
I'm interested in exploring the options between both schools, Wyo tech and MMI. But i don't know which would be an all around better choice. So if any of y'all have attended either of these two schools i would highly appreciate any information concerning what kind of opportunities the school opened for you afterwards of graduating.
Is it an actual degree you walk out the door with once you're done after the initial 36week course, and then specialized 12week course in one of the following companies such as Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, or Kawasaki? Or is it just a certificate? Are the crappy reviews i read online just from bums who weren't actually motivated, and dedicated to the area of profession. Or were the unfortunate souls who just experienced a lack of customer service while at the school?
The reason i ask these questions, is because i'm in the midst of pursuing a Business Entrepreneurial ship degree at Eastern Michigan right now. And it would be horrible on my part, if i decided to follow my passion for motorcycles just to find out the 30 thousand i spent for schooling was for no good.
Is their a chance to get hired in by a bigger company/dealership/specialized shop with this experience? Or would yo be just as well of if you were some garage building know it all from working on bikes over the years? OR, is it about who you know?
These are all factors in my decision, and it would be very helpful to hear from any of you who have spent money, time, and sweat at either one of these schools. I'm concerned, because most of the reviews i'm trying to find online about these schools, most people i find are just bashing them... What's up with that? Would i be better off just going to a local community college for the same sort of education to hope that helps me enter a job of my motorcycle passion?
Thanks for all the help guys. Even if you took the time to read, but can't help with any answers. Ride on

Most of the mechanics I've read about started off with a local pro or amateur and worked their way up. You realize those guys work tons of hours and don't make that much money.
